Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Often, the X-server crashes during the boot. Sometimes I only have a VT
and sometimes even nothing (blinking cursor). I have to re-boot until it
works (up to 3 times).

 ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log
==============

It seems to be a random probing error, but 100% guessing here.

Also, if relevant, I never have a graphical boot even when GDM show up
eventually: blank screen with blinking cursor, boot screen flash (low
resolution, mine is 1920*1200) and then GDM in correct resolution.

No problem so far after correct start-up.

- Same problem with nvidia-173/nvidia-current (195.36.15)
- On-board 6150
